Here's to New Beginnings

So my boyfriend and I are going to start hiking. I'm STOKED!! I've wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail since high school, and it looks like I've finally found someone who will do it with me!!

Right now I'm at the point of researching and comparing gear. Neither one of us have anything other than a camping tent and a regular backpack. That's what we're going to use for the first few hikes, they'll be day hikes only of course. I've found some great sites to help me out.

I thought I would try blogging to help me, my friends, and my family keep track of the progress from basically beginner (neither one of us has been hiking since we were kids) to who knows what.

Mom always said if I put my mind to it, I can do it....I guess I put my mind to doing the AT a long time ago, I intend to prove her right.
